| == Slendric pentad and hash ==
| |
| 2 questions:
| |
| | |
| 1) "Hash" is fascinating. How did you come up with it? Why the log 2? Also, does this satisfy your goal for coming up with a unique descriptor for chords?
| |
| | |
| 2) One of my favorite chords in miracle and ever is the slendric pentad, which is 5 slendric 8/7's on top of one another. This is one of those near-dyadic chords I mentioned earlier, in which almost every dyad is consonant, but with one or two dissonances (in this case 21/16). For whatever reason I find it to be a beautiful chord, and very bright, which serves as a useful counterpoint to many of the chords listed here which can be much darker and more tense. Can I list it, or do these have to only be essentially tempered chords?

| It seems like an obvious hashing function. In order to relate it to Graham complexity and avoid potential problems with big integers, I took the log base 2.

| Mike -- for what it's worth, whenever I'm using 3's and 7's, I consider ratios of 21 potential consonances, even if it doesn't fit the theoretical model.

| The slendric pentad is yummy.

| I think so too. But does Gene want it on this page?

| I already put the slendric pentad on the dyadic chords page, under the name "gamilismic pentad". Is "slendric" in common use?

| The term "slendric" for the 2.3.7 1029/1024 temperament is in very common use, mostly because Keenan's been talking about it for ages. As far as I know this chord doesn't have any specific name. I think it would be better if called the "slendric pentad" because
| |
| | |
| a) it's the first five generators of slendric temperament and is right there as a prime feature of it. It's only in gamelismic temperament because gamelismic temperament is slendric with an extra generator which isn't involved in this chord
| |
| | |
| b) more people are talking about slendric these days than gamelismic, so it'll probably make more sense
| |
| | |
| I don't know if the term "gamelismic pentad" has any common use though.

| Just want to note for clarity that I didn't name "slendric", and if I had, I wouldn't have chosen the name "slendric", because it's really nothing like slendro.
